Squad

A fracture rules Tim Coremans out for 140 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Dordrecht will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Transfer targets

Dordrecht make their move for Noë Misumi

$310.0K on the table at NEC. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Tempers go at Dordrecht

Jordy Bruijn was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Dordrecht

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A row about effort at Dordrecht

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sem Valk was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Dordrecht rebuffed over Noah Fernandez

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. PSV have kept their man, and Dordrecht go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Dordrecht promote Joel De Ligt from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Joel De Ligt has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Nathan Aké steps up from the Dordrecht academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nathan Aké has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Dordrecht promote Robin Malen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Robin Malen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
